This template helps create the tracks for a typical pop/rock band.

You will be prompted to assemble your session from a list of track types.
|
|
|
|
Each track will be pre-assigned with a color.
|
|
|
|
Optionally, tracks may be assigned to sensible Groups ( vocals, guitars, drums )
|
|
|
|
Optionally, tracks may be assigned Gates and other plugins.
